Hob Nob Anyone?

Due to Diarra going to real for a huge fee, marek will be one of his replacements.

you heard it here first

I don't know who merek is.

I think it's unlikely seeing as he's done sweet FA in England having made only 19(?) appearances. On top of that he managed a couple of good performances for a disappointing Czech Republic in the summer.


I'm sorry I forgot he scored a wonder goal against Liverpool.


Pompey would need fantastic scouts to spot him, have faith that he has recovered from his injury and faith that he can prove he can adapt to football in England.

If this goes ahead then I fear for the next Reading No.7.

'Fantastic,' are you sure?

We played inthe same league as them last season, we're just up the road and the guy played in the Euro Championships over the summer and is a teammate of one of their top players. I don't think it takes a massive network of scouts to see a little bit of potential in a pretty local player!

Not sure I can see Mateovsky going to Pompey mind, especially if it's to fill a Diarra type whole in their squad (although Adams might not be looking to replace like for like of course).

No.

Is it the elephant man?

Pompey's scouting network would need to be a whole lot less fantastic to spot Marek than ours was !

I suspect most Premiership clubs 'know' about every player playing international football, and probably most playing for reasonable club sides.

He's not Pompey's sort of player though, being well under their qualifying height.

Yeah, but that was 'Arry's policy - no-one yet knows if Adams will have the same minimum height requirement.

How come harry brought defoe then

Diarra is a tough tackling, water carrying defensive midfielder - the very things Marek isn't.

Which of their players is his international team-mate ?

Krancjar.

alright overstated certainly, but they'd pretty much have to have been interested since last season and he's done nothing of note since then for us.

They didn't go for him in the summer so I find it very doubtful.

People worry about him going much as the same as they worried about Bikey going in the summer. Because we know he is quality. But he hasn't exactly done much to show it in England, much like Bikey hadn't.

Can't be Kranjcar.

Unless I'm very much mistaken Croatia and The Czech Republc are different countries.

Exactly what I was going to say. Diarra is a replacement for Mahamadou Diarra, another DM. Matejovsky would not fit the role were he to replace Diarra.

....very good point!

Still think any Premiership club should be pretty well clued up on current internationals, and especially those playing in the same league.

Sorry, fell asleep.

Baros was on loan with them last season. He was probably who the other poster was refering to.

Hes also not black.
